I just had to add this to our blog today. This is one of our first children home through our Ethiopian program this year. To be honest, this was a hard week ...so many waiting kids, court challenges, money issues...well, it's all part of it. Anyway, today's surprise photo was such a treat and encouragement. To have visited this precious one in Ethiopia, to know her Birth Mother's heart for her daughter's future and to also know the wonderful family that has embraced her as their own...to see the joy in her face, to understand the peace her birth mother has and to know the love of her family...too much for words.

It just makes it all worth it!

Prayer for the Older Child

Dear Readers,

Could you join me in praying for the older children who wait. For all those who have lost parents and hold on to hope that someday they will be a part of a family again. Those who watch as the little ones get chosen; those who help interpret to the parents coming to gather their babies; those quietly watch and then ask their caregivers...when is it my turn?...while they grow older waiting.

We have several older boys and girls ages 4 and up who desperately need to find families. If you or someone you know is willing to consider an older child or sibling set, please contact us at 502-387-3848.

Our License is Here!

I am happy to announce that Arise Adoptions, Inc. has officially been born! We are now able to operate in our own name and will continue working along side our partners, Kingdom Vision International and Hope Adoption Agency in Ethiopia. Project G.L.O.W. will continue to operate as our humanitarian program to orphans as well as providing education to parents. Please celebrate with us as we hold an Open House later this fall!

WELCOME HOME!!!!

Project G.L.O.W. welcomes home our newest additions, Eyerusalem "Ellie" & Mesfin "Micah"!!! So glad to see you in the arms of your parents!

Exciting time for ALL

Fall is here and lots of great things are happening...to God's glory! We are pursuing our license to operate as a full service adoption agency. Two of our families are traveling this Saturday to pick up their beautiful children and several new referrals have been given to waiting families. Please continue to pray for both the children and families who are waiting to be brought together and join us in celebrating God's goodness!

Exciting Times for Families

We had another great time of fellowship with 7 of our families adopting from Ethiopia! Please pray for several of our families who are due to either travel or have court dates this fall. We look forward to celebrating with them soon!
